This is our seventh walk, and I'm pleased to say that Sean is a healthy, normal 8-year old. The biggest differences are that (1) he gets to carry around a "cell phone", which is his insulin pump; (2) when he eats us out of house and home, the total devastation of our pantry is measured in grams of carbohydrate; and (3) "sick days" are a little more adventurous for us than for many parents.
So once a year, we need and ask for your help. Help Team Sean support the JDRF mission by donating. Here is the link:

JDRF was founded in 1970 by the parents of children with type 1 diabetes - a disease that strikes children, adolescents, and adults suddenly, makes them insulin dependent for life, and carries the constant threat of devastating complications. Since inception, JDRF has provided more than $1 billion to diabetes research worldwide. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education. JDRF's mission is constant: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.
As always, thanks!
